TO ALL WHOM IT MAYCONCERN:

Be it known that I, JOHN C. MACK, of Bristol, in the county of Hartford, and State of Connecticut, have invented a new and useful Cupboard and Table combined; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description thereof, whereby a person skilled in the art can makeand use the same,'reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to the letters of reference marked thereon.

Like letters in the figures indicate the same parts.

Figure l shows aV front view of my improved cupboard and table, with the doors open and thetablerlet down` for use.

Figure 2 shows an end view, with the table-let down, as in fig. il.

Figure 8 shows an end view, with the table folded up inside and the doorsclosed.

My invention consists in attaching a folding table, having suitable legs to sustain it when open, to a cupboard, in such a manner that it will fold up inside, together with its legs or supports, and be concealed from sight by the doors of the cupboard whenjclosed, and Aat thesame time not interfere with the use of the shelves or drawers of the cupboard. v

A is a'cupboard, having doors D D and legs E E, or any other support that will .mak'e it of the proper hrtigllll. i

B is the table-1eaf, which turnson hinges at a in "such a manner that it will fold up inside ofthe cupboard, as seen-in iig. 3, or fall forward to the position shown in fig. 2. Y

` C is a leg or legs attached to the table B, near its upper 'or forward end, by hinges, at b, so lthat it can fold up against B, as shownin fig. 3Q v F F F are shelves in the cupboard, upon which any articles desired can be kept.

G is a drawer, opening just above. the table B. l

Any other arrangement of shelves and drawers can be used as well.

H is a button or bolt, for fastening the'table up, when closed, into the cupboard.

The operation of my invention is a s follows: I

When it is desired to use the table, the doors D D are opened,the button or bolt unfastened, and the leaf' forming the table turned forwards and downwards, letting the leg C fall down at the same time till it rests on the door, as shown in figs. 1 andA 2.

When the table is no longerne-eded, it is turned up again, letting the leg C fall against it, and secured in the position shown in iig. 3. The' doors are then closed, concealing itfrom view.

. The-advantage of my invention is, that a table is provided, of ample size for meals or other purposes,

close to the cupboard, and which, when not i'n use, can befoldedvup and concealed from sight within the cupboard, which can be made an ornamental article of furniture, thus saving the room taken up by an ordinary table.

Claim.

WhatI claim as-myinvention, and desire to secure byLetters Patent, is-' The combination of the cupboardV A', shelves F, and doors D, with table'B and legs C, arranged substantial-l as and for the purpose speciled.
